The following is a compilation of Old Time Kitchen Sayings I'm copying from the book, "Log Cabin Cooking" by Barbara Swell
"Anybody can cook. You just have to know what good food tastes like!" - Maude Smith
* Kissin' wears out, cookin' don't!
* If you don't share your dough, your bread won't rise.
* A woman can throw out with a spoon more than a man can bring in with a shovel.
* She don't know beans from bird eggs!
* Hope is a good breakfast after a bad supper.
* Better the guests wait on the biscuits than your biscuits wait on the guests!
* People who boil and stew, will cook in their own juices.
* It takes face powder to get your man, but baking powder to keep him!
* All that is required of in the enjoyment of love or sausages - is confidence!
"Nothing helps scenery like ham and eggs." - Mark Twain

My Grandma Slater used to say this to us in the kitchen all the time! "You kids get outside now and play and stay out of this kitchen you make me nervous!" That count?

"Hot pan cold oil food won't stick."
"Fingers were made before forks."
"Soup's on!"
"I hope you don't plan to eat with the same filthy mouth you talk with."
"Compliments are reserved for only those of you who wish to eat again. The rest of you may criticise the cuisine."

I don't know what it meant, but after saying grace before every meal, my Grandma used to finish with "knife, fork, spoon, and Obidaya."

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift to you. That is why it is called the present." Enjoy your day!

Well, grandma used to say "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". My aunt, on the other hand, was one that never said die. She changed it around: "if you can't stand the heat in the kitchen, take your clothes off". Mike and his dad use this one after a hearty meal...... <buuurp><beeeeelch><faaart> Ain't bad manners. Just good food!

"Where else have those hands been?" "Take one now and get another later." "Save some for later!" "You're going to spoil your appetite!" "It'll be ready at dinner time." "You'll sit there until that food is gone or else have it for breakfast tomorrow!" The Queen Mother of all kitchen talk: How do you know you don't like it, you never even tried it!"

Had a 3rd grade teacher that was one of the last old-time school maarms. This old bat was an old-maid and should have retired 100 years ago!! She would stand over us during lunch and without fail start in, "Don't waste your food. Remember there are starving children in Cambodia (or Ethiopia, or Peru, or wherever the "hot" spot was that day)".
One day after several days of gosh-awful school lunches, I stood up, took my tray and shoved it in her face! "Oh my, Miss Watson!" I said. "That's horrible! Why don't you ship this slop off to them? I wouldn't want to feel like I were depriving them of a fine meal like this!"
